8.50am: Wigan manager Paul Cook believes Peter Reid would be a “fantastic” appointment for Sunderland.
Reid, who enjoyed a seven-year spell in charge of Sunderland between 1995 and 2002, is currently on the coaching staff at Wigan.
Cook said: “For Peter, it’s fantastic. I’ve said before I think it’s an absolute crime someone like Peter wasn’t involved in and around a football club.
“The experience, the enthusiasm, the knowledge… he was first in this morning, watching videos on Crawley.
“If someone like Sunderland did look to go down that road, I’d be very much for it.
“And I think he’d be fantastic for Sunderland.”
8.20am: Aston Villa skipper John Terry has suffered a broken metatarsal.
The 36-year-old limped off in the 20th minute of yesterday’s 2-0 defeat to Sheffield Wednesday.
“I have just had news that I have broken my fifth metatarsal,” Terry said.
“Devastated is an understatement to how I’m feeling tonight. I will be doing everything I can to get back fit as soon as possible.”
7.50am: Leeds boss Thomas Christiansen is confident he will not be axed before their next fixture.
The pressure is increasing on Christiansen after the Whites lost 3-1 to Brentford, to make it six defeats in their last seven Championship fixtures.
When asked if he would be in charge against Middlesbrough after the international break, Christiansen said: “Yes.”
